Best wishes for animation production

Just now when the big guys asked about the plan, he didn't say anything, but now it was revealed by Misawa Hiro.

Gu Xue was a little embarrassed and explained:

"Senior Xi Weiyan, don't listen to his nonsense..."

"What nonsense, I...uhhhhhhh!"

Misawa burst into laughter, and then his mouth was quickly covered and pushed down by Chen An and Sekiya Acheng who were sitting on his right and behind.

They didn't sit next to their idols... No, in other words, their idol was actually Gu Xue, so compared to Misawa Hiro, who was a little calmer, he soon discovered that Nishioyan's expression was wrong, and the expressions of many big bosses were also... No, they all look like they have been hit by dimensionality reduction...

The two people quickly stopped Misawahiro from continuing.

And winked wildly.

Stop talking, stop talking...

Gu Xue saw that Sanzeguang was being held down.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled sweetly at the big guys and pretended as if nothing had happened...

But how could Xi Weiyan and others pretend that nothing happened? When they looked at Gu Xue's smile, they felt that it was not sweet at all!

"Seniors, let's continue..."

Look no one is talking.

Gu Xue quickly opened the storybook and continued the endless explanation.

In fact, the first episode of "Attack on Titan" - To You Two Thousand Years Later, there are not many difficult scenes. The story of the protagonist Eren's childhood takes up most of the time, which is considered difficult. At the beginning, the Survey Corps is on the city wall. Counting one, then there is the plot after the appearance of the super giant.

There are so many big guys, and asking them to draw simple scenes in the first episode is actually a waste of resources if we really want to be serious.

But everything must be thought of from another angle.

Although there are not many difficult scenes in the first episode, they are really important.

Gu Xue doesn't think it's definitely not worthwhile for so many big guys to spend time in the first episode. Having the names of these big guys on the credits at the end of the first episode is just an effect, isn't it?

The people here now, Gu Xue has already identified them as the core animators of the "Attack on Titan" project.

The 24-episode drama is actually no different from a marathon, and is even more tiring than the latter. She is a little worried that these core animators will go astray later. Although the animator meeting will be held for every episode, she may not necessarily attend every episode. Can take care of both.

Because, in order to get the planning started as soon as possible, Gu Xue really planned to do what Misawa Hiroshi said and make a decision once and for all, omitting the script meeting and setting meeting.

She has storyboarded until the seventeenth episode...

This is indeed very trouble-free.

But it is inevitable that some new problems will arise. For example, in normal animation production, each episode will have storyboards and performances. Of these two positions, one is responsible for drawing storyboards, and the other is equivalent to the director of a single episode. Of course, there are also people who work together and are responsible for storyboarding and acting at the same time.

But now, Gu Xue has drawn all the storyboards to save trouble. This means that the direction of the entire animation will be produced according to her ideas, but it will also increase her pressure because she has to convey herself to the entire animation staff. After omitting the step of storyboarding, the performance no longer needs to communicate and discuss with the storyboard. Performances with ideas will not have the opportunity to serve as storyboards themselves. As the supervisor, Gu Xue will personally explain to them the direction and analysis of the work. The intention of the mirror...

This workload...

To be honest, Gu Xue felt... really a little unsure.

Therefore, she planned to let the core animators in front of her have a certain understanding of the core of the work "Attack on Titan" in the first episode. Even if they did not understand it, it would be good to let these core animators feel the style of the work.

After all, the first episode involves a lot of things, including the tragic Survey Corps, the self-destruction of the garrisoned troops, the people who are willing to live in the birdcage, the hearts of the three protagonists longing for freedom, and most importantly, the appearance of the super giant, The tragedy after breaking the birdcage, Allen's mother's loss, and that classic line...

These are the first things the work shows to the audience.

It is also the background of the entire work.

It couldn't be more appropriate to talk to the core group of painters in front of me.

…

Explain the storyboarding intent.

It requires a deep understanding of the script, as well as a clear understanding of the direction of the work and how the animation will be performed.

And at this point.

Gu Xue has a unique advantage.

In addition, because the people present were all the big guys and the best people from YUKI Studio, Gu Xue didn’t even need to explain it to them individually. She directly shared the storyboards of the first episode and her own thoughts with everyone, and they just I can understand, and these people can also draw inferences!

The instructions went very smoothly.

Gradually, the big guys were completely brought into the work by Gu Xue.

Although these people have already read the planning book and have a certain understanding of the work, they have even just read the storyboards. But before that, when they watched these things, their main attention was still on the pictures, and they only had a rough understanding of the plot.

But now, as Gu Xue explains.

Gradually, these big guys noticed the dialogue on the storyboard and the detailed plot of the first episode.

When the members of the Survey Corps were questioned by the mother of the deceased member, they yelled ‘No! This investigation has yielded no results”…

The giant giant falling from the sky, the bloody and tragic situation, the people fleeing in all directions, and the pinned mother. He shouted to fight, but after seeing the giant, he didn't dare to face the giant because of fear, so he turned around and picked up Hannis, the garrison soldier who escaped from Allen...

And... Allen's mother looked at Allen being forcibly taken away, covered her mouth and cried, "Don't leave"...

And the despair of Allen's mother being grabbed by the giant, breaking her waist, and then bit her, blood floating in the air...

This scene, set off by the storyboards carefully drawn by Gu Xue, which is no different from the comics, is particularly impactful.

The world view that suddenly became clear, the feeling of dark fantasy...

The big guys exchanged glances, and then all looked at Gu Xue, who was standing in front and explaining seriously.

At this time, they still don’t understand that they are fools.

This plan was conceived by Gu Xue alone, otherwise it would be impossible for him to know everything about the plan while his studio staff were confused and listened to the explanation.

Alone.

Story, characters, storyboards...

This is not just a saliva story...but a dark fantasy story with magical reality.

The appeal of this story to the audience is still unknown, but it is really very attractive to old villains like them.

It was so big that they had temporarily forgotten about drawing in the timeline...

Why can such a fair-skinned and beautiful girl come up with such a story...

They couldn't figure it out.

However, at this moment, they really realized that they were old...

Even though they have always refused to accept old age.

But after their perceptions were refreshed again and again, they had to admit that they were getting old.

This is really, really a sad thing.

The sea...
